FWIW, somebody started working on removing the blocking FreeBSD/amd64 kernel limitations in early June and has been making some progress since. That said, please keep in mind that the FreeBSD project is driven by volunteers who, even though they agree that the feature requests are valid, may not have the interest and/or time to drive their implementation.
